HTDS Summer Fun Assembly English Country Dance Party

Summertime is time for FUN at our Summer Fun Assembly Dance Party in our lovely air-conditioned hall! Whether you have danced with us before or have seen this dancing done in movies and TV shows, join us for a delightful journey of fun, friendship, and connection at our English Country Sunday dance party!

An engaging dance style featuring a range of dances from 1650–2000s. Yes, English country dances are still being created as a living history dance form! Our programs are designed for both beginners and experienced dancers alike.

Immerse yourself in a world of lively music, delightful tea, a potluck spread, and the warmth of newfound friendships. Whether you’re taking your first steps in this type of dance or seeking new challenges, our dance party promises an unforgettable experience for all!

Potluck Tea Time in July!

• Our historical dance parties will be potluck. We invite all our community members to bring noshes to share for our tea time!

Costumes? Only if you wish! 

• Of course, costumes are never required, and we like to encourage you to wear something that brings you joy! Perhaps something that celebrates summertime. Your favorite skirt you love to twirl in. Or that tie or cravat that makes your sunny personality shine through!
• (With a reminder to avoid high heels, trains, wings, or anything else that drags, clunks, or sticks out, as these generally interfere with your dancing or the dancing of others. Thanks!)

Friendship Dance Scholarships

• Friendship Dance Scholarships are available for all Historical Tea & Dance Society events.
• Our community believes that dancing should be available for all. If you or a friend you know would be served by a Friendship Dance Scholarship, please reach out.
